“Powerful 80mph winds?” I keep Ventusky open in my browser to keep an eye on things and hadn’t noticed anything out of the ordinary. Thinking I must have missed something, I pulled up the dates prior to this alleged “storm” on Ventusky (https://www.ventusky.com/?p=50.0;-4.7;5&l=wind&t=20171016/18) – Here are screenshots are of the highest wind speeds I could find when mousing over the “storm”. (You can easily try this for yourself):

On the 14th:

15th:

16th: (not to mention how fast it got there!):

None of those speeds come close to the “80mph” that his the UK. None of them even quality as “hurricane winds”:

Evidence shows that there were destructive winds – likely up to 80mph. But they don’t appear to have come from this “storm”.
